There is a new heat sink in town attempting a coup. Can the new comer over throw the dominance of the D14 and Silver Arrow?

I do like the fact that it comes in different colours. Still think they missed a trick not making a black one.

Shame this didn't turn out to be better than the D14 like all the other sites were saying I really want someone make a cooler that is better than the D14. It's still a good cooler though and personally I would buy it over the D14 just for the looks, the temp difference isn't huge and only if you are being anal will a few *c really matter. Hopefully they will bring out some good 120mm fans as well because these fans would look great on a radiator.

as was said and seen, this cooler has two 140mm fans...
the D14 has only one 140mm fan along with a 120mm fan...
so, if the D14 came with two 140mm fans, it would win even easier, and may even beat the silverarrow  plus, be even quieter

The D14 comes with a 120 so it fits everything mate. The extra 140 can make fitment a complete arse.

Not so simple. The NH-D14 might be the king of air coolers, but if the CPU is not the heat monster like the i7 950 at 1.45V then if you get a cooler that has ample quiet cooling performance that has looks to match your build theme, why not.

I really can't understand why Noctua NH-D14 can't do a color scheme because it will only be a positive move for their sales as for the PhanteksPH-TC14PE it is obvious it is a copy cat of the NH-D14 even the name TC14 gives you a hint and price wise 10£ more than the NH-D14 and TBH I don't like copy cats because the only steal other people's ideas.
